Abstract:

The analysis of health policy pathway contributes to unveil the endogenous and exogenous elements that influence the management of health systems. This article aims to describe the trajectory of the Unified Health System of the Federal District (SUS-DF) in the period1960 to 2018 and identify the challenges to expand the capacity for protection and health promotion of the population of the Federal District. Documentary analysis of plans, reports, and articles published during the period 1959 to 2018 and collection of secondary data were carried out in databases of DATASUS and the Government of the Federal District. Results: The SUS-DF trajectory was delineated through actions of organization of care, management of the health system and training and development of health personnel. Health indicators such as infant mortality and life expectancy at birth have evolved positively. There was an increase in the supply of services, with an increase in the number of beds, basic health units and professionals, although insufficient given the population increase. Conclusion: the actions signalize the growing complexity of health system management, with challenges related to the adaptation of the capacity to respond to the health needs of the population and reveal potential internal in the field of health training.
